Renting can be a great option if you do not intend to live in the home for 5 to 7 years, are unsure about employment stability, have bad credit, or basically do not want to maintain a residence. Unless the real estate economy is good and/or on a quick incline. Typically it takes many years to gain equity. If you are not sure how long you plan to keep a property, renting could be the conservative option. Employment stability is another consideration. Renting allows you to react to the losing of a job by moving to a less expensive rental and reducing monthly expenses. A mortgage is not as easily changed. If you have lower than average credit, higher mortgage rates may make purchasing a property less attractive. Finally, managing a home takes significant time, energy, and financial resources. There are ongoing costs for real estate upkeep. You might believe that taking on those repairs do not fit your lifestyle.
